Your points are well taken. I&#39;m looking at uteri and worrying about what I said. Take it more in my naieve pollyanna vein.<br /><br />Instead of saying &quot;no one knows craziness more than me&quot; I should have said &quot;I&#39;ve been through a hell of a lot of craziness in my life.&quot;Gizabeth Shyderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730800855783255834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-22233303308404639742010-10-08T11:18:45.139-04:002010-10-08T11:18:45.139-04:00I have had some of those experiences - one of the ...I have had some of those experiences - one of the models from last week read my story and burst into tears over me collectively calling them unnaturally thin. Oh how I forget how fragile our body image is in our twenties! I was also accused of making a racist comment at this blog back in the fall, but the commenter and I hammered out our differences in a long comment thread and now I follow her blog. I was publicly attacked by a family member when I separated from my husband, despite the fact that my announcement on my blog was very civil. We hammered out our differences in an e-mail, and I put in that comment screen.<br /><br />I think even the negatives have their benefits. You can&#39;t get from A to Z without buffering some craziness and coming out better on the other side. Trust me, no one knows that more than me.Gizabeth Shyderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730800855783255834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-32578236875599343362010-10-06T22:49:08.001-04:002010-10-06T22:49:08.001-04:00Oh, there are negatives.
You run into folks who ...Oh, there are negatives. <br /><br />You run into folks who don&#39;t agree, loudly and strongly. You run into folks who misunderstand and get hurt and offended. You run into trolls who go after you personally.<br /><br />You run into people who are just stupid, or who subscribe to pseudoscience and ridiculousness.<br /><br />Is it worth it? <br /><br />If you have a tough skin and can deal. If you don&#39;t take it personally when the attacks come straight at you.<br /><br />We are in a unique position to change the world. But it doesn&#39;t come without a personal price.The Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919631102243889689.post-10826980736267752262010-10-06T17:52:01.813-04:002010-10-06T17:52:01.813-04:00My post will be up later this week, but I said man...My post will be up later this week, but I said many of the same things as you did. Blogging is about community for me, it is an emotional release, and it is a place for ME. It can also be a lot of fun and quite entertaining, too.Kylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.com
